School Notes

Confident, independent, and resilient are just some of the words that describe the Army and Navy Academy student.
Located on the coast in San Diego County, California, Army and Navy Academy is truly unique.
Surfing, Varsity and JV sports, and outdoor activities offer fun and challenge.
Our college preparatory curriculum is catered to the ways that boys learn best both inside and outside the classroom.
As a Gurian Model School, the interactive lessons, small class sizes, personal attention, and formal leadership training motivate students to reach their full potential.
As a private military school with a JROTC program, cadets are educated to a set of core values that shape all aspects of life. Honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, compassion, and gratitude are the cornerstones.
Most students matriculate to traditional colleges and universites; however, a small percentage attend top service academies or attend ROTC universities.
The Academy is a private nonprofit institution.
